There are bound to be some ups and downs in any relationship........... my advice: just tolerate and it'll be over.

another piece of advice: tolerate till you hit the bottleneck, dont need to tolerate anymore, let it explode.

Dont know what's up with the bf these days, or with most of the bfs of my friends these days........... what's up with the sudden change of attidude, the rudeness, the blatantness, the un-caringness, and the un-gentleness........something's wrong, but u cant figure out what.... they just tell you "it;s nothing it's nothing it's nothing", but obviously there's SOMETHING.... something is definitely wrong. there seems to be nothing wrong with the relationship on the whole, or on the appearance.... but something seems to be wrong from the inside..... the tone of that voice, the volume of that voice, the lack of some warmth, lack of some love, lack of some gentleness pisses me off somewhat..... yet there's nothing wrong?

sometimes he can be soo soo soo sweet as a candy but sometimes he's just as sour as a lemon which makes me quinch.

bad bad mood.

been very very very busy these days, which sort of irritates me a little.....i dont like to be busy..... it just sucks the life and money out of me..... but well, at least it was worth it..... the christmas gathering with my classmates turned out to be a blast at Arena country club (nice place to have a gathering!) the room was HUGE, with ktv set with all the newest songs, mahjong table, a KING SIZE bed, many many couches and sofas and what not............ shiok....... it was just hilarious singing with the kbox queen Yvonne.......... and learning sexy dance from the dancing queen Huiyee.... and not to forget mahjong-ing with the mahjong queen Jiehui.....

the gift giving ceremony was fun and exciting too! We din know who was our "angels" who bought us gift, and so there i was waiting excitedly for my gift from the unknown angel, and turned out my angel was HUIYEE!! yippee!! The moment i saw her step out to present me with the present, i was so happy "good good!! this is one girl who knows me damn well!!" and true enough, she presented me a prettily decorated pink file which made me felt like studying at once.....i was so in love with the file once i set my eyes on it, and i think i forgot all about thanking huiyee... till now i still can't remember if i thanked her or not.... hahhhaa, i was too engrossed in gaping at the pretty file..... heh....

anyway, all in all, a nite i'll never forget.......

there's another chalet tomorrow.... *sighs*.......... show me the moolahs.........

Give me a hole to hide.... bury myself in.....

This has got to be one of the poorest month.............. i'm like almost penniless.. like FUCKING FUCKING SUPER POOR!! GOD HELP ME!! someone, help me!! no tuition income, no nothing.... arghhhhhhh.......... fuck lah, suckiest month in my life.....

procrastinating m.e

looking forward to Christmas and not looking forward to it all at the same time.... how mao dun is that........ u know, there's always these constant thoughts that go against each other in your mind and it really pisses the hell out of me....you have these conflicting thoughts that keeps going on and on and on.......... should i do this, should i not..... should i try this, or should i not..... these stupid thoughts can really make me insane....... i'm looking foward to Christmas, cos it's gift exchanging time, time for joy, fun, lights, town, play......... but once Christmas is over.......... i'll have NOTHING to look forward to anymore.... and starting of next year, i'll really.have.to.STUDY. which is so damn dreadful.......... this year's subjects that i'm taking, are so damn frigging DIFFICULT and dreadful...... MATHEMATICS in almost all the modules i'm taking.......... oh my my my....... how am i going to cope?!!!! Official exams are in MAY (again, shit, during my bday period), and the nxt.best.thing is that my PIANO EXAMS ARE ALSO IN MAY OR JUNE. i'm so not looking foward to year 2008. it'll be also the end of my career as a student, and the start of my doom, (start of my doom, sounds so, wrong.) in the working life. haiz haiz haiz......................................... these days, i'm so not looking forward to everything, i dont know why.... i'd rather spend the whole day with the bf at home..... or spend some quality time for myself in my room..... or do some reading...... read anything except my textbooks, do anything but practise the piano.... i'm so S.H.I.T

LUCKY ME!! Me and my bf just won ourselves return tickets for 2 to Phuket!! WOOHOO!! We won it at Cineleisure, some Jetstar promotions.... whereby you spend $20 at Cineleisure for a chance to win.... We must have been damn lucky to have won ah.... there was this board with many many holes of different countries for you to shoot your paper plane (our plane was like shit, cos the bf folded it) into...... and we were given just 2 chances to try... I tried the first chance, and my paper plane went way out of target, not even touching the board hahahah.... and my bf shot the 2nd time, and it went through the Phuket hole!! yippee!! i almost squealed in joy, so happy and proud of the bf ah.... i mean, he only threw ONCE and it got in... i saw another couple had 4 chances and still didn't managed to even get in any of the holes....

BUT BUT BUT..... alas, to our dismay (at tat point in time), we realised we still HAVE NOT won the tickets yet.... we just won a CHANCE TO GET INTO THE LUCKY DRAW..... really pui...... so tat means there's only a winner for that day, for so many planes that went through the holes during the 2 hour competition.... so we waited till 7pm for our the lucky draw..... AND WE WON!!! LUCKY SHIT..... but i damn damn stupid ah......... haiz...... cos when we filled up the form before the contest, we had to choose a "Dream" destination, and i ticked Taiwan...then when the plane flew into the Phuket hole, the organiser ticked Phuket.... then when the person in charged asked "so which hole did the plane get in? Taiwan or Phuket" I should have frigging said TAIWAN ah.... cos after that then i realised she didnt even know which tick was the right one!!!! i mean, it's quite unofficial and everything..... she just wrote it so generously on the piece of paper...... SHOULD HAVE TOLD her Taiwan instead... i mean as in, put it in an ambigous way ah "oh, Taiwan is my dream destination" instead of "the plane went into Phuket"...... or smth like tat.... so she might be mistaken and wrote Taiwan..... aiyah....

but anyway, i'm asking for a change of destination ah.... since they seemed to be so unofficial about it, and budget didn't seemed to bother them at all..... i'm going to ask for Macau (nope, HongKong wasn't included on the board)..........Taiwan will be too much to ask for lah.... my parents strongly disagree for me to go Phuket cos of the Tsunami thingy.....so no choice ah.... at least i tried asking right..... if cannot then no choice ah, just go Phuket lor.... but heard from my friends that the stuff in Phuket are very very expensive, too commercialised.... the watersports sounds damn fun though! Haiz.... but the bf don't like leh.....

The interview was crap lah...... went in the 1st thing they asked me to do was write an essay in 10 mins...... SIAN..... essay part was OK for me..... BUT the interview part i think was crap.... anyway, nvm, first time..... it's ok....... keep telling myself it's ok if i dont get in, which i think i wont.... seriously..... kept stuttering ah.... crap lah.... and he kept asking those sibeh open ended questions..... "tell me more about yourself" sian.....

Genting was fun fun fun and lose $$ lose $$ lose $$......... but it was the company which counted.... and the countless of casino games i've learnt.... hahaha.. jackpot is passe now, table games are in.... ANYWAY, lost SGD$600 bucks...... combined with the bf............. anyway anyway anyway, dont scold me lah, combined losses...... no choice... somebody damn suay those 3 days there... not my fault.... and as his gang of friends said "dai sai" aka sibeh suay.......

well well well, tml's the BIG day..... interview with THE company.......... THAT company.............. haiz............. nvr been to any interviews in my whole frigging life before, how to be not scared?? scared stiff! haizZZZz....... i just hope my knees won't buckle under me, just hope my hands wont tremble, just pray hard that i'll JUST GET IN......... haiz................

i can't believe i'm sick a day before i go Genting........ fuck fuck fuck.... i dont even have the strength now to frigging pack my luggage......... argghh...... so screwed...... i can't even think properly... so afraid i'll miss out something important like passport or smth.... haizz...... flu flu flu flu............

oh yah.... i watched my first ever R21 movie.... Pleasure Factory.... i didn't understand wat the whole damn movie was all about.... so all in all it sucked.... fucking draggy and dont even have storyline... FAR too abstract for me lah..... maybe u'll argue it's art, then art lor... dono lah...

my SECOND R21 movie was Lust.Caution, which was really frigging NICE AH (but my bf just tot it was "OK LAH" -_- boys) !! from the storyline, to the sex scenes, to the actors.... omg, REALLY NICE!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED K! i was pretty amazed by the really nice/exciting/hair raising plot, apart from the really *ahem* cool sex scenes........ and it's really weird watching lee hom talk in a weird china accent... and Liang Chao Wei's is still as charismatic as ever..... oh no no no, not cos i saw his balls and butt.... but.... aiya he is just charismatic fullstop.

haven been updating.... cos nothing's happen so far, nothing bad la at least... some GOOD has finally happened to me... haiz, been just plain busy la..... and i'm going Genting (again) this friday to sunday..... Driving trip with bf and his frens.... we'll be driving to KL and Malacca.... yeah! happy to finally get out of this frigging place, even though it's just Malaysia.. HAIZ.... if only i can go Taiwan.........

last friday was one of the most horifying busy day of my entire life.... was busy alllllllll the way till 2plus am at night..... but felt accomplished and happy.... and realised, it was really worth it.... just realised it today..... Went for the so called "recruitment" drive last friday afternoon till evening...... K*** was there... like WAH, one of the Big 4 companies... we were told to bring our resumes... but non dared to give the resumes to the speakers initially.... dont know why... everyone was just standing around, talking and staring and just doing nothing.... and no one dared hand up their resumes.... so, me and my fren mustered up our courage and asked the HR manager of K*** if she would want to collect our resumes.... and to our surprise! She said YES! oh, guess why we were so surprised? cos the headhunter of K*** (another speaker) initially told my fren that they are NOT recruiting at this time of the year... like WTH... then u come for wat.....

and to our irritation, many of the "free-riders" actually finally started handing up their resumes together with us. those free riders were actually crowding around the HR waiting for someone to START to hand up, and waiting for the someone to help them hand their resumes up together. Together with US, in OUR stack. go and die. irritated.

anyway, i still can't believe my luck.... the kind HR lady, (bless her), actually really looked and flipped through our resumes and called us the following working day, which was Monday, and called me again today, to tell me i'm shortlisted for an interview next wednesday!!! WOOHOO!! i'm so so so glad ah.... you can't imagine my joy when i heard "hi i'm blah blah blah calling from K***, you are shortlisted for an interview next wednesday" wah lao............. the HR manager is really so kind ah! i actually tot for a moment that she might not be bothered with us ah..... aiyo...so so so nice of her.....

butbut but........ i've never been through any interviews before.... im so so so scared ah......... dont even know how it feels like to be interviewed by maybe 2 ppl? argh......... hopefully i'll meet another kind soul who'll inteview me and hire me straight away... i'll be grateful forever and pledge my allegience to the company for at least..... 1 year?! hahahha kidding.... we'll see how it goes lah hor......wah wah wah............. SCARED AH.....

i seem to have never-ending things to do..... everytime i finish doing something, another thing will crop up............ feel tired every single day..... drained...... fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck la. feel so fucking stressed with so many fucking things to do. never ending really never ending! just tomorrow, i have 6 places to fucking go. piano lesson in the morning, afternoon chiong for class, after class chiong meet customer, after meeting customer got to go alter my dress, after altering dress must go teach piano. fucking hell ah. really never felt so fucking FULL TO THE BRIM before, full as in my brains feel so torn and battered. Every single day i've got so many fucking things to do! tuition EVERY SINGLE DAY. can you believe it. although it's alot of money but FUCK LAH. if i get alot of money in exchange for my freedom, time, brains and what not, then i rather dont want lah.

feel so tired, stressed out............. tired both physically and mentally........... my brain feel so squeezed......... i feel so drained.............. i've got sooooooooooo many things to do every single day........ so many things to think about, to stress about......... i dont even have time for myself these days to even blog............ i feel so damn tired i feel like lazing on the bed all day...... feel like doing so many things that i was doing just months ago........ things that i dont have the time to do now........... my head feels heavy all the time......... heavy with thoughts, bf, appointments, tuitions, piano lessons, shopping sprees, assignments, projects, meet ups........ i hate those kinda feelings when i dont even spend quality time at home with my family....... everytime when i reach home they'll either be asleep or not there........ or everytime the moment i reach home, i'll have to go out again........ i feel so damn bloody sick of the lifestyle i'm having now........... i dont even have time to blog! i dont even have time for myself........ i dont even have time to sort my own things out........ i dont even have time to think for myself....... all my thoughts are always concerned about other ppl........i let everything influence me so much...........i feel like i'm living my life for others.......... i let ppl affect me so much........

just realised we didn't take a single photo together on our 5th yr anniversary........ STUPID.........anyway, i just took very few photos....... dont know why i was so distracted i actually forgot to take photos.......didn't really do much to celebrate our anniversary...... just had dinner at Pariss international buffet and watched "Shoot 'em all" which was quite a nice movie.....

the actual day, the bf geng MC to accompany me.... heh.... or rather, i accompanied him to the dentist to take the MC since he really had a toothache, so we thought, might as well.... spent the day strolling around Hougang Mall area, eating Dim sum at coffeeshop, ate desserts at the dessert shop......... although wasn't very exciting, but it felt very nice....... the pace was slow, we didn't have to care about work or studies.... just chatted and strolled......... and the day was over just like tat.... just like any other normal day............... as the old old saying goes, everyday will be like Valentine's day (or anniversary) if you love each other......... heh............ the bf just "proposed" just nw, hahhaha......... sudden surge of warmth when he suddenly popped the question......... "when we getting married, can faster get married?" hehe....... so sweet............................. *blush*

Happy 5th year Anniversary to Hubby!!

went Pariss (again) hahah to eat yesterday........... went back frigging full........... happy happy day!

hmmmmm.......... wisdom tooth extraction was a fucking awful experience for me.......... one thing, cos one of my wisdom tooth is lying FLAT instead of upright, the dentist had to drill and cut my wisdom tooth into MANY pieces before she took it out........ the injection of the anesthetic INTO my gums was FUCKING CHEEBYE PAINFUL.......... WAH LAO.......... REALLY PAINFUL till i nearly cried.......... i could see the fucking damn long needle, i could feel the damn thing in my gums i really nearly cried............. and the best part i was injected TWICE, cos i had TWO wisdom tooth to be extracted.....

and the stupid dentist. really dont know how to describe her...... i think she's damn lousy ah!!! she kept saying "if you feel the pain, tell me." i was like fuck, by the time i feel the pain when you're halfway fucking DRILLING my tooth i'll be already screaming ah!! why can't u just fucking inject MORE anesthetic first?! arghhhhh................ so throughout the operation, i was so fucking taunted by the fact that i MIGHT just fucking feel the pain SUDDENLY halfway thru the operation (really operation, i was lying on a fucking cold operation table, covered throughout my whole body with blanket and the green cloth covering my entire face except for a small hole to fit my mouth), tat i just clasped my hands together very tightly throughout, prepared for a sudden jerk of pain........ i was under LOCAL anesthesia, which meant i was conscious THROUGHOUT the entire process, which made it 100 times even more terrifying................ haiz........... bad experience, i'lll never do it again.........

post extraction was also awful......... i lost alot of blood and i felt so damn giddy i just took cab home, i didn't even care if it was peak hours and i couldn't open my mouth to talk AT ALL, so i just wrote on a piece of paper for the cab driver to send me to my hse...................... i couldn't feel my cheek, chin, ears........... which was such an er xin experience....... cos i didn't even know when i drooled... i didn't even know i was salivating and i didn't swallow my saliva......... gosh........arghhhhh............ i was told by the dentist that after the extraction, my cheeks/gums will swell to its maximum size in 72hrs........wat an exciting thing to look forward to..........i almost rolled my eyes at her...........anyway, it's swollen now, to its maximum size......... cool.........i haven been eating, sleeping and coping well post extraction.......... cos it fucking aches and i cant frigging open my mouth.......... can only have very very soft food........... soft food=boring food=bu hao chi. knn. i dont know why mine hurt so much, some of my frens said theirs didnt hurt, but some of my frens said theirs hurt a lot........ so i belong to the unfortunate group......... SUAY AH............ i think both tooth were on the bottom, cos mine was operation instead of just extracting and twisting it out of my gums.......... and cos i had TWO wisdom tooth removed?? dono lah, SUAY LAh.......... grrrrr.........

another thing to "look forward to" is to have my stitches removed next wednesday........ can you imagine STITCHES?!?! sounds damn fucking scary from the sound of it............ i didnt' even know my wounds were stitched up till the nurse told me at the end of everything to arrange for follow up appointment......... i have to go back there again?!! arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i've got plenty of medicine to eat.......... plenty.............. and i dont know why...... all my frens after their operation didn't even have medicine ah........ at most a mouth wash......... aiya, told u i'm suay rite.............

i'm sooooooooooooooo sick at my blurness.......... still can't get over it........ can't believe i overlooked it........ grrrr......... school admin staffs just suck ok..... they always dragggggggg things and dont get back to you...... i cant believe i just got myself into could-have-been-avoided trouble........ really irritating...... if only i had just fucking just CLICKED on the damn confirmation registration button..... if only my bf's internet connection was not down!!!! ARGH!!

anyway, sch's been busy........ 1st wk of school and i already felt the pressure..... fuck man.......... and i've got a dental surgery appointment on Wednesday........ i'm soooooooo scared man........ i got to operate to get TWO of my wisdom tooth out...... my doctor initially asked me to take out all 5 at once...... (YES I've got 5!!) but i might just die of overwhelming pain ah.... so i just take 2 out and just wait for the rest of the 3 to give me trouble before i start thinking about it........ for now, JUST 2....... something the doctor said gave me the nerves ah..... the doctor said there's 0.5% chance that the wisdom tooth operation MIGHT affect the nervous system for the chin, tongue and jaw........... so damn bloody scary ah!! fuck man............ 2 person i hate most in this world: 1. Dentist, 2. Hairdresser. ARGH!!! everybody said wisdom tooth surgery will hurt............ how?! i swear i will take the pain killers rigourously.... oh man.............. sobs........

so bloody pissed at my blurness!!!!! oh god........... i didn't know the school's ECR ended YESTERDAY!!! and i didn't confirm my school timetable!!! OMFG! fuck man...................................... i'm so bloody worried now i cant get the ideal timetable that i want!!! FUCK AH!! how fucking blur and forgetful i am i really dont know!! ccb..................... fuck man..................... arghhhhhhhhh really pissed.....

Not bad results

finally got my results..... didn't do too good... but didn't do too bad either.... was disappointed at my three 3rd class honors for my subjects..... but i'd thought 2 of them were a sure goner, so it was very lucky that i even passed.......... was/STILL IS super super glad of my ONE 1st class honors subject...... and it was a GOOD 1st class honors.... so happy......!!! but........ grrrrr.... all the rest all 3rd class....classification of honors: as long as you score 5 subjects of a class, you'll get the class..... (eg if i have 5 1st class honors, i'll get 1st class honors degree lor) which is so so so so so so damn fucking hard ( I SUMPAH it's damn fucking difficult to get 1st class honors ok, 34 is the passing mark, and many ppl only get around the 3rd class range, PLEASE do not look down on UOL, i swear it's a fucking difficult degree, they had only 12 1st class honors last year for our graduating batch, which is at least a few thousand cos we can fill up the WHOLE of the expo exhibition hall)...............................

come next year........i'll be DEAD, cos my subjects are all MATHEMATICAL subjects........!!!! SHIT. but i can do it, i WILL DO IT!! I CAN GET MY 1ST CLASS HONORS OR 2ND UPPER!!

the only thing that i can do now is to work super super super hard for my 3rd year and get 3 second upper class, or FOUR 1st class for my subjects next year....... meaning to either get a second upper honours degree or a 1st class honors....... cos i have one 2nd upper and one 1st class now.... 3 more subjects to go.......... and i've got 4 subjects next year, meaning 3/4 of the subjects i gotta CHIONG AH.......... ARGH...

aiya, bet no one knows what the hell i'm talking about......i am so going to work hard nxt year......... i will study EVERY SINGLE DAY (try lah)......... JIO me to study!!

fuck fuck fuck................... exams results out TODAY............. i think.... i've heard alot of news about it.... but somehow i still haven't manage to get into the student portal to view my results......... i still prefer the paper thingy where they send your results via mail.......... i'll still be getting that... but the school's putting the results online....so i'll be viewing it online first.......... nervous breakdown.........

i'm so damn fucking bored............ u know when you get busy, everything starts flooding in, emails, calls, smses, homework,tuition assignments... but when u're so damn free..... you stay at home everyday WAITING for emails.... going online every single minute, browsing through blog updates..... even your piano teacher will cancel on you at the very last minute... and the thing is, you didn't even want it to be cancelled (which is so unlike me!) cos u're so bored!! and now i'm just waiting for time to past by so i can go for my piano tuition at night............. and cos of the stupid piano tuition which is bu san bu si in the middle of the evening....... i can't meet up with Vel! dammit.......... and the stupid bf still hasn't replied my frigging sms yet. grrrrr........................... feel so hollow. hole. gaping hole. empty brain. knock knock, and u'll hear echo.

hmmmmm just realised i dont have photos for day 3 vietnam.... BECAUSE, the blur queen forgot that on day3, the blur queen brought out the camera, but forgot to take the camera battery with her..... so couldn't take pictures..... so.... hafta wait till i get the photos from my fren for day3 lah..... STUPID girl....

Day 2 - Mekong Delta Vietnam Trip

Day 2, We went to Mekong Delta, again in the more rural areas of Vietnam, (actually, everywhere in Vietnam is rural except Ho Chih Min lah)... Mekon Delta is where the Boat people live..... They really live on floating houses and they even have floating markets and villages.... too bad we didn't get to go to the floating markets due to time constraints.... Of cos, we went to Mekong via boat.....


on our way to Mekong village..... floating houses....

Even Floating lamp post!

We reached the Mekong village after a 20mins boat ride.... we visited the place where they made their famous rice paper.... they eat everything with this rice paper.... eat fish with rice paper, eat bbq lamb chops with rice paper......

This beautifully fried fish was our lunch!! it's in the package for the 1 day trip to Mekong! and guess how much it was??!! $12/pax for the whole trip!! Lunch included! omg, so damn dirt cheap!

Me on a hammock! I nearly fell off the stupid thing! clumsy me......anyway, i bought his cap for SGD$3, DIRT CHEAP can.... and my local fren told me it could be cheaper.... (!!!)

lazy bf........



us standing precariously on a plank of thin thin wood.....



We sat on a horse carriage too!!! felt sorry for the tinyhorse... it had to carry 7 ppl including the driver...... poor thing...... but the horse carriage moved surprisingly fast!!! and bumpy!! i nearly had to fish out my axe oil.... hahhaha......



us and our horse.......



bf and the snake!! u know why his face so anxious?? cos the snake was trying very hard to writhe away from him.... and he had grab hold to it tighter..... my bf was very very afraid! cos he and another fren of mine, just finished irritating the snake in its cage earlier on before the photo taking session..... IDIOTS.... both of them used branches to poke the snake and the snake stirred and got irritated..... and they didn't know we were goin to take photos with the snake later on..... hahhahaha.... both of them panicked, "how ah, what if the snake recognise our scent".....

Me and my forced smile.... i was bloody scared ok!!! scared to death!! the thing was writhing it's head towards me! and i felt something big in the stomach! and i realised it was the snake's lunch!!! OMG........ i was so scared ah.... then my bf purposely took his own damn time to take the pic... "oh sorry, cannot cannot try again".... i nearly died....

2 of our frens.... all 4 of us were on a very small sampan boat, on our way to another island...... there were 2 rowers, one infront and one behind.... and both of them were ladies.... the moment my bf got on board the small sampan, the boat rocked like mad and all of us clutched to the boat for our dear lives.... and the 2 ladies shook their heads.... hahaha cos they had to row the very heavy boat with 4 very heavy ppl for a long ride.....anyway, we gave them tips after we got off.... so they went back rowing happily....

murky water..... but not from dirt..... geography remember? it's a delta, so they are all sediments from the main sea that connects 6 countries.... cambodia, vietnam..... and i cant remember which... hahhaha....






Our very sumptuos seafood dinner tat day..... this was the first time i had so much seafood in my entire life.... there were oysters, escargots, clams, mussels, fish, big big big prawns, cheese prawns and crabs!! and i cant remember what...... our table was FULL of seafood..... gosh.... we didn't even order rice, we just stuffed ourselves full with just seafood and nothing else... looks unappetising with the leaves (in vietnam, the eat raw leaves with everything for every meals)... but it was simply delicious.... nothing in singapore can beat this ok.....im someone who dont eat oysters, mussels or clams.... even I thought it was very very nice....so must be damn nice ah....talk cock....







me and my big big prawn..... we had 1 big prawn each...... i couldn't keep track on how many prawns i ate that night.... there were at least 3 plates of prawns.... all cooked in different sauce... gosh....... heaven.....



i know this doesn't look like fish, but it's a HUGE fish with very nice decorations... hahahha.... anyway, dont have alot of pics of the table-full of seafood cos we were too busy eating and getting our hands dirty eating crabs and prawns!



finally, satisfied after the seafood sumptuous meal........yummy.....

and guess how much did we spend on soooooooooooooo much seafood? less than SGD$25 each for 6 of us!!!! do you think you can have 4 crabs, 6 big big prawns, 3 plates of small prawns, 2 plates of mussles, 2 plates of clams, 1 big big fish, 2 plates of snails.............. fucking cheap!!!! the seafood super fresh somemore!! we chose our own crabs and prawns ok, all alive and freshly caught!!... in singapore????? $150 for 6 ppl for such seafood meal?? eat da bian lah....

Day 1 - Cu Chi Tunnel + Boat Dinner Vietnam trip

Day 1 of Vietnam trip was full of excitement and sweat. After touching down to Ho Chih Min City, i had a bad culture shock. Motorcycles pack the roads, only few cars can be seen, NO ONE seems to be concerned with traffic rules, everyone just move around the road like it's their grandfather's road. Everywhere you go, you can hear horns horning like nobody's business, it wasn't till towards the end of the trip tat i realised they used horn to warn other motorcycles that they are approaching, so please keep left.

Our first lunch in Vietnam at a high class Chinese restaurant. The food was superb, anyway, ALL the food we had in Vietnam was all superb, so much nicer than in Singapore!

On our way to Cu Chi Tunnel........ we saw many many skinny cows....

Outside Cu Chih Tunnel.... fighter plane behind us.... Vietnam was in war for many many years with the Americans and i think, the French.....The Vietnamese then dug the 120km long Cu Chi tunnel in order to avoid the bombings from their enemies.... The Cu Chih tunnel has 3 layers, all underground, and air ventilation is very very bad in the tunnel, ventilated by camouflaged bamboo sticks from the tunnel to the ground above.

Heading down to the tunnel...... happily smiling at the camera...... but little did we know it'd be a torturous, long and dark but exciting 30m trip.....

The start of the tunnel, as u can see, i'm squatting to get in.... and for the rest of the tunnel trip, i'll be in this position...........or worst..... cos as you get further and further in, the tunnel gets smaller and smaller....this entrance was widened for tourists... can you imagine years and years ago when they were having war... how bloody small the hole was?? They dug the tunnel very small for a reason, cos the Vietnamese knew that the Americans were very very big sized.... so the Americans probably wouldn't be able to go into the tunnel, even if they could get in, they couldn't get out... cos of many many booby traps that the Vietnamese had set aside in the tunnel...

Another hole, which none of us wanted to get in.... hahaha... so the tour guide just demonstarted how the Vietnamese gets into the hole and camouflage themselves.... The tour guide told us to just follow him and do not make any turns unless he tells us to, if not, be prepared to get lost in the tunnel forever....there's no way any 2 humans can possibly squeeze side by side into the tunnel...so we went in one by one.... and all we could see was the tour guide's torchlight, other than that, it was pitch darkness....it was bloody scary inside the tunnel, u cannot see anyone infront of you, u can only hear their voices "turn right turn right,dont turn left!" "slope slope!! careful!" ta ma de, slope in the middle of a fucking small tunnel..... i almost died can.... i mean, i really almost died, it was underground.... bad air ventilation, such tiny tiny tiny space i almost had claustophobia........ it was like a nightmare come true.. remember there was a movie when 5 girls went hiking in a cave...... and one girl was fucking stucked in the tunnel........

THIS is how small the damn hole was.......

fucking scary small hole..........

Tour guide dared our frens to get into another tunnel on their own..... "just walk straight" he said........ "what if we turn?" "then get lost lor".... my frens GEI KIANG, purposely made a turn, and both of them screamed underground.... the rest of us were waiting anxiously at the exit, shouting at them telling them "HERE HERE!! exit is here!" cos we thought they got lost... and guess what they told us? "WAH we saw HELL LOTS of bats at the turn we made!!!! DAMN SCARY!! then both of us screamed" ................ dot dot dot

some of the booby traps made for their enemies..... BEFORE: innocent looking thing...

After: Man Made spikes from bamboo sticks....

Finally, exiting the tunnel................. after 30m of walk underground.......

The worst part of the tunnel trip was.... when i was half crawling, half squatting trying to will myself to move on towards the exit which seemed fucking 1km away..... something fucking FLEW PAST and BRUSHED AGAINST MY CHEEK....... i fucking screamed like nobody's business and everyone thought what happened.... CAN YOU IMAGINE?!!! you are in such an enclosed area...... in pitch darkness.... and you can only grope your way through the darkness (cos towards the end of the trip, u'll be far far far behind the tour guide, cos there are many many ppl infront of you, u wont be able to see the torch light from the tourguide) and something fucking fly past so close to you, and you dont know what the fuck issit! it wasn't until i was out of the hole did the tourguide told me it was a bat............ OMG..... ARGH......

Well, after the knee buckling Cu Chi Tunnel trip..... we went to fire some REAL shots.... REAL GUNS REAL SHOTS OK!!! ok, this is not new to those army guys... but to us girls, it was something very new ok..... but i really hated the sound..... everytime someone shoots, it's like i almost jumped out of my skin..... BLOODY LOUD even with the ear mask on..... earpoundingly loud..... ok, i was very very scared..... so i closed both eyes and shot..... and the guy who was instructing me was like shouting "open eyes open eyes!!" cos it was very dangerous to close eyes and shoot.... hahhaha..... he must be thinking im a real idiot...but seriously damn scary wat!! i cant remember mine was the Carbine or M16........

The boys took the AK........ AK47 ah? can't remember AK what... sounds like counter strike to me....

At night, after bathing at the hotel (which turned out to be surprisingly big and comfy).... we went to have dinner in a big boat/ship restaurant....

all of us, posing infront of the boat restaurant and blocking everyone's way into the restaurant...hahaha.. but we didn't care.....

Needless to say, dinner on the ship was fantastic..... sea breeze blowing at your cheeks....... delicious local food.....yummy......

and there was even a fire eating show onboard the ship!

ok.... that was the end of day 1........... more updates to come!
